The Nature of Sin.

It's disturbing because it implies that you believe something must be destroyed for something else to be saved, no matter what. It also implies that
you don't believe you are capable of engineering your own salvation. Both of which are terrible things to believe in, in my humble opinion.

I know God and I do not continue to sin. I "have" sin, but it is in my past.

So of the 500+ sins spoken of in the Bible, you manage to avoid all of them all day every day? What happens if you stop believing but continue to live
that pure and moral life? Please note that I'm not asking if you would or could do that...I'm asking what would happen if you did.

But not the same god. That's a very significant thing. You claim that places you on common ground, but if you take your morals from a different god,
isn't that the same as having no morals at all? That's what the Christians say, anyway.

Ok, I'll say that it says we cannot sin. However, the statement is still not incorrect even if you want to look at it that way.

Romans 7
5 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the
law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.

Colossians 2
13 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you[a] alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, 14 having
canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.

These two verses explain why God views our SPIRIT not our FLESH as sin free. Colossians 2 explains why God is allowed to view Christians as sin free,
and why Paul says that it isn't he(his spirit) that sins, but rather the sin living in him(Flesh). John is referring to our spirit being clean before
God's eyes. If that doesn't make sense then I don't know how to help you grasp the concepts.

To get angry is not a sin, even Jesus got angry when he flipped the tables at the temple and when he called the Pharisees a brood of vipers. Anger is
a natural emotion.

I do not lie, I am a truthful person. I do not lust, because lust is over something you cannot have, and I do not worry about things I cannot have. I
have everything I need already, so in turn I also do not envy.

You just lied when you said you do not lie. That is bologna. You do not lust? Well there is another lie. Sir you are not honest with yourself. Again
you might be one of the few who has to experience the rapture and his wrath before the point ever hits home.

I was speaking generally. We all come from the same God even if some reject him (it) and believe in false gods. We're all children of the
universe.

This is what you said:

I don't believe in the Christian god, I believe in what I see and know.

This is a Christian thread, which means that by denying the Christian god, you are committing a sin. Which you just said you don't do. And if your
beliefs and your religion are that distinct from the Christian religion, then they are not relevant here because a Christian context is inherent in
the topic. I'm not saying you can't post about it, I'm just saying it's apples to oranges.

Funny how you assume I am lying and you do not even know me. You acting like you know me is a lie in itself. I do not lie because I have nothing to
lie about. Apparently you think you know me better than I do.
